FIRST LOOK: @BarnyardLondon, Charlotte Street… from the @DabbousLondon team (27 Pics)

  Barnyard London is the second restaurant by Ollie Dabbous. This venue is very different and a lot more informal than his first restaurant, the Michelin Star holding Dabbous. So what can you expect from this new venue, just a few minutes walk away from his first? I attended on their first pubic day to […]

REVIEW: @The_Pig_Hotel… the “Restaurant with rooms” in the New Forest (72 Pics)

  A country restaurant with a hotel attached? More importantly is it worth a train journey from Waterloo to the New Forest for lunch or a quick getaway weekend for Londoners? In a rare venture into the countryside, I visited The Pig Restaurant and Hotel in Brockenhurt. The Pig Restaurant is located in Brockenhurst, the […]

REVIEW: Sushi Making Class at @Sumosan_London (41 Pics)

  Sushi restaurants have suddenly become keen to let their customers have a ‘hands on’ experience with their future meal. So is it as easy at it looks? After all, slicing up fish and rolling them around rice can’t be that difficult? I attended a class to find out. This year, restaurants of all types […]
